Martini Racing Fluids

I am curious if anyone from down under have tried out Martini Racing Fluids? I just bought some Martini Racing Oils and Super Kool coolant and it seems to be fine.

I have and threw the brochure away... I was at my mechanics when the sale rep came around... the sale pitch sounds great but we just laugh at it. Any thing special there?

I went to the warehouse to pick up an rx7 exhaust the owners son had for sale, well run top quality fluids used by many circuit racers here in oz. The owners seemed ok to me and the son was doing up an rx3 so rotary friendly at least.

No comment on the quality since I dunno, but are those racers sponsored?

I know Johnny from the track day we had have those in the shop. I will ask his advice. Be right back.

BTW - I dunno if it is vital information. The sale rep I met told me the engine oil and stuff are made locally????? So is it the same that the Porsche racer are using... I doubt it

Actually, I don't have any choice here for RP, Redline, or Rotary oil - no distributors. I was actually quite happy to see Martini Racing fluids because I did read about racing teams using it in rotary engines. In any case, after putting in the Martini Racing oil, its seems to be fine; actually much better than when this mechanic put in AC Delco fully synthetic in there. As for the superkool, I am very satisfied with the coolant. Its so much better than the usual coolant. Engine cools down faster and now my maximum ECT (engine coolant temp) does not exceed 100 deg celcius. Before it used to reach up to 103 deg celcius. Its been really really hot in the Philippines lately.

Regards.
